Brain transplant
Data recovery was somewhat successful. The main stuff I seem to have lost is the stuff that was partitioned separately on the main drive to keep it safe. So I've lost the original Corel files for a couple years' worth of stuff like the TWH DVD boxes, pictures downloaded from the net for gaming, all the music I moved out of "My Music" - which, naturally, copied over just fine...
Looks like I'm good for photos and Word stuff, which is the main thing. (And I can't do anything with Corel files anyway unless I find or re-buy the software package, since they don't copy program files.)
The new external drive being arranged so it has a hundred numbered folders called "Found", which are all empty, seems to have been designed just to worry me for no good reason. Thanks guys...
